Robert Kubica has given his first interview since suffering horrific injuries last Sunday in a rally crash.<\/p>\n
La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Pino Allievi spoke in Italian with Renault’s Polish driver, as the 26-year-old vowed to “come back stronger than before”.<\/p>\n
“I don’t remember anything about the accident, but these things make you stronger,” said Kubica.\u00a0 “I’m sorry to my mother.”<\/p>\n
Referring to his worst injury – his right hand that was almost severed by armco barrier that penetrated his Skoda Fabia rally car – he revealed: “The fingers work, the arm as well.<\/p>\n
“But only after working really hard will I know for sure.”<\/p>\n
Veteran journalist Allievi said Kubica’s face was relaxed as he spoke with determination about returning to F1.<\/p>\n
“I’ll be stronger as a driver, in the head.\u00a0 I have to return this year.\u00a0 My right arm feels better now than when I was hit by a drunk seven years ago,” said Kubica.<\/p>\n
He spoke about his passion for rallying.<\/p>\n
“It’s a tough workout, severe, for F1 it helps with concentration … whether I’ll still do it, we’ll see.<\/p>\n
“It was nice to see Briatore, an exceptional person.\u00a0 Then Alonso, Lopez, Petrov, Alesi, Liuzzi — beautiful, the track never lets you see the true face of the people.”<\/p>\n
